It is said that a person gets drunk when the spring breeze touches his face. Li Chengfu was riding on the horse with a stinking face that made him want to kill someone. All of his younger brothers also had expressions of reluctance. No one wanted to risk their lives. Seizing the tiger's teeth from the tiger's mouth, isn't that the old man hanging himself!
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. This kid Liang Chuan is usually very clever and afraid of death, and he can only pick on the weak ones. A tough guy like the big insect on Helu Mountain shouldn't be stupid enough to show off. The government has issued notices time and time again. This kid is not illiterate. What kind of medicine did he take to touch the tiger's butt?
I pity myself and a group of brothers. It's not enough to go into Liangchuan. Now we have to collect his body. But if I don't go, who dares to go? These women and villagers are scared out of their wits. The matter should be settled. , Now I have to go to work if I don’t want to, and officials are greedy and afraid of death. This reputation is not good.
The two women led the way, crying all the way back to express their sadness, their eyes as wet as peaches. Li Chengfu wanted to ask them to stop, but he couldn't say it. There were already dead people in his house, and he didn't want them to howl. It was a bit overwhelming.
A group of people walked down the Helu Village Road, and Li Chengfu felt something was wrong as they walked. There is no sign of someone's death in He Lu. Not only are they not there, but everyone is overjoyed, as if there is smoke coming out of someone's ancestral grave. Damn it.
"Those two women, what the hell is going on in your village? Has Liang Chuan offended so many people in your village? He has done so many evil things in ordinary times. You are so happy to die, beating gongs and drums one by one, running around telling each other, ugh .”
The two village girls had been treated well by Liang Chuan. They looked at the people in the village and they looked really outrageous. Li Chengfu had a fierce look on his face. They were so frightened that they couldn't even respond.
Under the big tree outside the ancestral hall, you can vaguely see many people gathering together, playing suona and drums. The two women then bravely said: "They must be making arrangements for Sanlang's funeral. Otherwise, they wouldn't know how to play the suona, but where did they hire this suona craftsman? The tune they played is wrong."
The whole village was full of evil spirits. Li Chengfu motioned to his elder brother to come forward and shout. It seemed that Baozheng of this village also lived nearby. He called out to answer and went up the mountain to look for the body together. As a result, the younger brother saw the crowd under the tree and immediately came back. With excitement on his face, he shouted to Li Chengfu: "Du Tou, there is a big dead tiger under the tree!"
"What!" Li Chengfu figured it out immediately. No wonder the villagers were so happy. They must have killed the big bug, and every household was so happy. "Take me to see it quickly."
There was great joy under the camphor tree. The group of women went back to their homes after being dismissed by Liang Chuan. The story of Liang Chuan's tiger hunt also spread. Every household was extremely excited, and each household spontaneously organized various festivals. To celebrate, go to the camphor tree to play and play, and hunting tigers is a great event.
When the villagers saw people from the government coming, they thought they were here to reward them. As a result, I saw that several of the government officials had strange expressions on their faces. They all had stinking faces, and they didn't look like they were here to have fun together. With drums beating in their hearts, everyone stopped their celebrations and looked at the government officials one by one.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way." The officer drove him out of the way. Li Chengfu got off his horse and ran under the tree to see. It turned out to be a big tiger. There were black blood stains on its mouth, nose and ears, and its fur was still shiny. It was obvious that he had just died, and he was so happy at that time: "I'm not afraid of collecting the corpse of Liang Chuan anymore..."
Liang Chuan was originally in the house, but suddenly he couldn't hear anything outside. If something went wrong, there must be a monster. He immediately jumped out of the house and rushed outside to check. This tiger was full of treasures. He almost died before he was killed and carried back. Who dares You have no end to pursuing Tiger’s ideas! Ni Hu, He Baozheng, and Li Chuyi also realized something was wrong, and followed Liang Chuan and rushed out of the house.
When Liang Chuan saw it, it turned out to be Li Chengfu, and he said happily: "Old Li, why are you here?" Liang Chuan was more relaxed now, and he directly called Li Chengfu "Old Li".
It didn't matter to Li Chengfu when he heard him call him that. Last time, the magistrate personally invited this boy into the side room for tea. He had only gone in a few times after working for more than ten years. This boy was quite capable.
"Brother Liangchuan, did you kill this tiger?" Li Chengfu didn't care about anything else. Killing the tiger was a great achievement.
"Good luck, good luck..." Liang Chuan said with a sly look on his face. The old boy even changed his mind and became my brother, haha.
lucky? Li Chengfu thought to himself, no matter how lucky you are to kill a tiger, you think I am a three-year-old child. This is a tiger, not a mouse. As soon as the tiger's claws come off, the whole head will move.
Nihu and the other mountain people followed Liang Chuan out. When they saw these people dressed as government officials, their expressions changed immediately. They all looked at Li Chengfu and the others with hatred, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Li Chengfu ran to the tiger and touched the tiger's skin gently with his hands, almost drooling. He was a rough man, but he also knew that this tiger was a good thing. The tiger skin only had a few scratches, but most of the other parts were intact.
In ancient times, tigers were dominant in the mountains. There were no zoos at all, and there was no such thing as artificial breeding. To catch all tigers, one had to either design exquisite traps or use extraordinary means to only damage the vital parts of the tiger. If the tiger skin is injured, the tiger skin peeled off in this way is priceless and hard to find.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a good thing." Li Chengfu's eyes glowed green, "Here comes someone!"
"The young one is here." A yamen servant responded.
"You ride on my horse and go back to the county seat to report to the county magistrate Mingzhi. I have been hunting tigers for half a year and finally a hero kills the big insect. I am still an old acquaintance. Liang Chuanlang, a talented man from the Lantern Festival, killed the big insect He Lu. Go back and report!" "
"Yes!" the officer replied.
He Baozheng hurriedly took a few steps to catch up with the yamen servant, quietly stuffed some copper coins into his hand, and said, "I'm sorry, brother."
A few people escaped death today and are overjoyed. Now when I go back to report the good news, I will definitely parade through the streets in red and receive the attention and greetings of thousands of people. Spend a small amount of money to take care of these government officials so that they can do things more quickly. This is a good thing. It will be smoother. He Baozheng has stayed with Liang Chuan for a long time, and Liang Chuan's way of doing things has gradually improved.
"We are sitting in the first room of Zheng Du, and some of the officials are watching tea in the room. Today is a happy day for us in Helu. Liang Chuanlang fights tigers with his bare hands and eliminates harm for the people. Our hundreds of miles of mountains and forests in Helu are finally pure and peaceful. This also avenged the dozens of passers-by who died unjustly, what a big heart."
He Baozheng is now slowly starting to learn these things. After a trip to Xinghua, he was deeply impressed that no one in this society will adapt to him. He has always had to adapt to the mold of society.
Several people went into the ancestral hall to take a rest. Nihu and the others looked unhappy. Li Chengfu, an old official in the officialdom, is the best at observing people's actions. He has never seen these idiots at first glance. He acted as if he had killed their whole family.
Li Chengfu sat down, and Yi Niang immediately brought a lot of wine and food from the kitchen. There is nothing exquisite about the big fish and meat, but now Zhaodi, under the guidance of Liang Chuan, made the fish charcoal-grilled with dogwood and bamboo skewers in a very delicate way. I will never forget it after eating it, and my mouth will drop when I eat it.
Brother Zhao grilled a fish for everyone. Li Chengfu was tired of eating the big fish and meat. Hey, is there any other way to eat it? Li Chengfu held up the bamboo stick, looking at the look without burning it, smelling the taste without being burnt, and took a bite. The fish meat was delicious, the residual warmth of the charcoal fire lingered in his mouth, plus the flavor of dogwood and coarse salt, Li Chengfu couldn't care less. My mouth was burning, one mouthful after another, and I was having a great time eating. Liang Chuan knew so many tricks.
"I'm talking about you guys, I haven't seen you before." Li Chengfu just kept eating. The mountain people really felt uncomfortable looking at him. Don't keep staring at me like that.
He Baozheng looked at a few people who were staring at Li Chengfu with unhappy expressions, and was quite frightened. The life of the mountain people is very difficult. The main reason is that they are located in a remote area. People from the government often go up to the mountain to catch the autumn wind and never leave anything they can take away. This makes the mountain people miserable, so they met These dog officials are extremely jealous when they meet their enemies.
"Du Tou, this old man is Xiao Baozheng's childhood playmate, and he is from Shicang. I haven't seen him for more than 20 years. Today, after Saburo killed the big insect on the mountain, he happened to meet a few of them, so he invited Come back with them and have some fun together."
"Shi Cang? Mountain people?" Li Chengfu frowned slightly.
When Nihu and the others heard the word "mountain people", their faces became even darker. In their ears, this word meant discrimination and insult, but they also knew that the people did not fight with the officials, and the mountain people could not fight with the officials. The principle of fighting is that they have suffered enough. They can't bear one Wu Dutou. If another Zheng Dutou comes, they will all jump off the cliff.
Li Chengfu knew their identities and knew all the reasons in a flash of his mind. The people of Xinghua Mountain are Wu Leicai's personal purse. The hard-earned money they squeeze and exploit every year is simply outrageous. Moreover, no one else can get their hands on this purse. Anyone who touches Wu Leicai will fight to the death. Over the years, anyone with this idea has been Wu Leicai is almost done. Although Li Chengfu is now prosperous in the county, he does not dare to have such thoughts.
"Stop staring at me like this. I didn't recruit you. Every wrongdoer has his own fault. Whoever is responsible should go to whom. If you continue to stare at me like this, don't blame me for being rude." Li Chengfu is not without temper. Why are these gangs in the mountains The refugee was half-dead by Wu Leicai, and he had to pretend to be an uncle in front of him.
"Everyone who came to my house today is a guest, especially these few who helped me a lot today. Lao Zheng, if you don't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, don't let me mess up the happy event." Liang Chuan said to Li Chengfu with a smile.
Liang Chuan has killed the big bug now. According to the wishes of the county magistrate, he can't escape the position of being the leader. It is only a matter of time that he calls himself Lao Zheng. Besides, in the future, there will be three pillars. Liang Chuan is his brother, which is better than hanging with Wu Leicai. , it wouldn’t be fun if the two of them got together to mess with each other.
